These actual co-ordinates were used to calculate the mean radial distribution of all the co-ordinates away from the calculated centre, thus providing an indicator for the volume of the switch.
  • the volume was normalised with respect to Examples A and B in tables 3 and 4 respectively.
  • the shampoo formulations were prepared using the formulations in Table 5.
